The annual [Harvey Nash CIO Survey](http://www.harveynash.com/ciosurvey/?ref=katecarruthers.com) launched in Sydney in early December 2014.

This is a long running CIO survey with responses from more than 3,200 CIOs and technology leaders globally.

It was interesting to join the panel at this event for a lively discussion of technology and business related matters.

My fellow panelists were:

- [David Hackshall](https://twitter.com/dhackshall?ref=katecarruthers.com) – CIO, Wesfarmers Insurance
- [Theresa Eyssens](http://www.crn.com.au/News/391619,datacoms-search-for-a-new-australian-boss-is-over.aspx?ref=katecarruthers.com) – CEO, Datacom
- [Lee Bustin](http://au.linkedin.com/in/leebustin?ref=katecarruthers.com) – CIO, Group M

We had a wide-ranging discussion including: big data (and its friend little data); the importance of good alignment between IT and marketing for the business; and the need for a new kind of IT that is freed up from legacy systems and closely aligned to the business.

Some of the comments are documented [here](http://www.theaustralian.com.au/technology/more-aussie-cios-in-core-executive-management-roles/story-e6frgakx-1227148967818?ref=katecarruthers.com).
